The National Bank of Egypt was established in 1898 as a private institution with a British-dominated board, and its early high-denomination notes circulated almost exclusively among foreign merchants, colonial administrators, and financial institutions — not among the Egyptian public. A 100-pound note in this period represented roughly a year's wages for most Egyptians, making retail circulation essentially theoretical.
Bradbury Wilkinson held the printing contract for the series through the First World War years, during which shipping printed currency from London to Cairo carried genuine logistical risk. The date range on this type spans a politically turbulent stretch ending just before the 1919 Revolution.
